Hi Gelonida, I haven't ever worked with internalization but off the top of my head after reading the documentation, if I was faced with implementing this, I would first add a field to the user profile say 'preferred_lang'. Next, I would write code that would first check if a preferred language has already been set in the user's session or browser cookie. If yes, let internalisation work as usual else, check the 'preferred_language' from the user's profile and store it in the session or browser cookie and let internalization work as usual.
I hope that gives you some ideas and if you like the idea and run into problems, you would be able to get a lot of helpful answers from the group On 8/12/12, Gelonida N <[email protected]> wrote: > On 08/12/2012 08:46 PM, Marcin Tustin wrote: >> This is linked from the Django front page: >> https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/i18n/ >> >> Come back with specific questions when you get stuck. > > > Thanks for your answer. > > I created already all the l18n messages and I can switch the language > site wise by changing the language in settings.py > > However Now I'd like to change them via user preferences.
